My pattern / skillset

Kind of “how I do everything.” But not really. More like: a common way that I do things, and an update to How I take notes (which could have been called “How I study” or “How I process things” or something like that).

A bit like: this is “my thing.” My way of doing this that’s a maybe a bit different to how others do it.

• Research. Take notes along the way. Look widely, look deeply.
  • This helps the idea(s) sink in.
• Remix. Note highlights, themes, big ideas. Group and shift similar ideas.
  • This clarifies and solidifies and refines the idea(s).
• Replay. Write up in a structured format.
  • This helps the idea(s) stick.

With waiting gaps in-between to allow some stewing, incubation.
